"Wrexham achieved another landmark moment in their meteoric rise under the ownership of actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, after reaching the last 16 of England's FA Cup for the first time since 1997 on Friday. Wrexham beat fellow second-tier Championship side Ipswich Town 1-0 in north Wales to clinch their place in the fifth round draw after a 29-year absence. Josh Windass scored the only goal of the game in the 34th minute to give Phil Parkinson's side the win."
"By making 10 changes for this encounter, Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna indicated his priority is that league rematch. The unfamiliarity in Ipswich's lineup played into Wrexham's hands but, after failing to take advantage of a goalkeeper error in the first minute, in took them some time to settle into the contest. They could have gone ahead after Alex Palmer came out of his area to head away a long ball but failed to make clean contact."
Wrexham reached the FA Cup last 16 for the first time since 1997 after beating Championship side Ipswich Town 1-0 at home, with Josh Windass scoring in the 34th minute. The win followed a shock victory over Premier League Nottingham Forest in the previous round and extended Wrexham's momentum under owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac. Ipswich made ten changes, signalling a league priority, and their unfamiliar lineup contributed to early opportunity swings. Wrexham created chances through Windass, Sam Smith and Ollie Rathbone, and held on despite second-half pressure and a goalmouth scramble that was blocked on the line.
